Wrote and released a daily reader on sobriety and stillness called I Will Not Drink With You Today.

There’s a companion website: https://iwillnotdrinkwithyoutoday.com

I wrote the book in markdown, stuck it in a SQLite DB and wrote a parser to put all the data in static JSON so it loads very fast.

I also created a new personal homepage to update my presence on the web as a published author and experienced leader and technologist: https://davidbyrondrake.com

Book was released less than a month ago—growing it organically like a startup has been fascinating in terms of marketing, sharing, building, and measuring success.

Have been utilizing my acting skills again with readings from the book on my Instagram and TikTok.

Having a really good time with it!
